>>>A mother to be who had breast reduction in her teen years wants her friend who is nursing a two year old to start pumping and freezing her milk in case once the baby is born the mother to be is not able to fully breastfeed.>>> My initial thought is that a newborn needs colostrum, and that milk from a mom who is nursing a 2 year is different in compostion from that needed by a newborn. I'm not saying to use formula but she might want to try to get milk from a mother nursing a much younger baby or contact a milk bank.
